Den of Thieves She received a concussion, which is a well known risk in any ball game, especially volley ball, and has no relation to the fact it was a transgender player. Not to mention the only news outlet covering it seems to be the Daily Mail and that's not known for it's reliability. |

Mm I dont want to sound like an asshole but I feel this conversation is more for pm's or forums |

I want to keep saying things but I know I'll say something I don't mean ;-; |

@Royal Yeah it's crazy. I've heard firsthand from my transfemme friend who tells me about all the stuff she goes through now after the treatments |

Everyone experiences bone and density loss to different degrees however so it is possible like Simon says for their physical capabilities to be lowered enough to make it somewhat fair |
Simon G Riley |
den of thieves have you heard that she wasnt paralyzed and played multiple sports after that? it was just the media demonizing the trans WOMAN that was playing against her? even she's embarrassed of it |

Enigma It's more than just that, the hormone therapy also damages their bodies. Increases their risk for early diabetes and other more serious health issues. So they really do put their bodies through so much. |

completely off topic but there should be Australian shepherd pelts, I am trying to do a custom of one of my dogs and none of them match |

I will say before I go. The "unfair advantage" people are talking about stems from the changes people undergo at puberty. While trans women experience muscle and bone density loss, it seems to be not enough |
Den of Thieves |
have you heard of the girl who got paralyzed because a trans man smashed a volleyball into her face? she was really good at volleyball and had a scholarship ahead of her and she lost it because of that |
Nevermore. |
Tea I get it, I mean at nearly 70 years old, my father still beats the shit out of us when it comes to playing. I ride horses, so there are no split classes since there is no need, so it doesn't affect me, but I wouldn't really want to compete against someone who is naturally more competitive. |
Simon G Riley |
den of thieves yeah. like i said earlier, they literally have to go through YEARS of hormone therapy before they can compete in sports with their preferred sex, which completely changes their body structure, and somehow theyre still under fire from literally everyone |

Trans people get harassed and prodded even when they're not top athletes and are just regular ass people going about their day |
The Tea Drinkers |
Nev I can totally believe it :( I just get sad when professional athletes get dragged for not wanting to compete with trans athletes |
Simon G Riley |
it's been political but i'm not gonna let people sit here and make ignorant statements about how "unfair" it is for someone to want to play sports professionally when THEY are the ones being constantly harrassed and prodded |
